So Elias is now 28 months old and I definitely need to get on the potty training wagon with him.. It's been hard because we've just had SO much going on the past few months.. I would really love to have him pt'd before baby sister arrives but have not been sure if that could be done easily or not. He has interest in the potty on and off but has never actually gone pee or poo in there yet. BUT just the other day, he ran up to me and told me he needed to go poo and wanted to do it in the potty! … [Read more...]

Only 7.5 weeks left to go until my due date! I can hardly wait to meet my baby girl! And ok... I decided I can't wait any longer, not telling ya'll the name we picked out..
